WHEN JESUS COMES TO REWARD

When Jesus comes to reward His servants,

whether it be noon or night,

faithful to Him will He find us watching,

with our lamps all trimmed and bright?




Oh, can we say we are ready, brother?

Ready for the soul‟s bright home?

Say, will He find you and me still watching,

waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?




If at the dawn of the early morning,

He shall call us one by one,

when to the Lord we restore our talents,

will He answer thee, ‘Well done!’?




Have we been true to the trust He left us?

Do we seek to do our best?

If, in our hearts, there is nought condemns us,

we shall have a glorious rest.




Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching

in His glory they shall share

if He should come at the dawn or midnight,

will He find us watching there?
